Much appreciated. I too have older 1980s wood garage doors and would prefer to insulate and paint than pay thousands for new doors. Thank you for sharing as I wasn't certain if it was worth the effort.
This is an amazing video. Thank you! You should add some affiliate links to the description so that people who want to buy the same materials you did from Home Depot or whatever can do that and you get a commission from HD for the purchase! Well done and thanks again!
James, glad the video was helpful. I was in my garage yesterday , outside was about 38 degrees and I was comfortably working in my garage - so much better than before ! GL
Sorry I did not capture that information at the time. I can say that I put the screws in because the tape will fail at some point. there is just to much heat and cold cycles that it goes through. hope that helps
Great job. Thanks for posting. Do you remember what type and thickness of foam you used? Also, do you think it would be worth going thicker on the 2nd outer layer?
Keith , appreciate your comments and question. I used 1/2" Rmax Pro Select R-Matte foam insulation boards . I went with 1/2 on the second layer because I was concerned that when the doors opened and closed that the insulation might have pinched against each other. if you go with one inch let us know how it turns out.
Thanks for posting this! Going to be working on our wood garage door in Hawaii soon. What kind of screws did you use? Were they long enough to also go into the door or just into the foam boards?
depends on what you want to achieve. I wanted to retain more heat in the colder months and have astatically acceptable doors ( did not want to see all the words they put on this stuff). my first layer the foil faces out, final layer faces in. GL
Great job! My wooden garage doors have lots of light leaking around them and also through them too and I’m looking to do the same. What’s the garage temperature like when it’s >90F or
Hi Pat, I just posted a video on how the doors are performing this winter. the link in the description box. Thanks for the kind words and for watching - you can also cut and paste this link if you wish. ua-cam.com/video/VREpOV07_yQ/v-deo.html
Hi, great video. Question I have though. I read that foil needs an air gap in order to be effective . Maybe I’m wrong. Worried about condensation on wood surface . So I figure I need to place Durafoam side glued to wood surface and foil side facing inside garage. I’d only be doing 1 layer though. Thanks 👍
Hi SDe, moisture won't effectively travel through foam so the potential condensation is there. However my space in not heated , the insulation is not sealed to the wood and the edges of the wood are open on all sides so there is opportunity for moisture to move . So for me I think I'm okay. when summer comes back around I will remove a panel and see what has happened. GL
@@good2live225 thanks for getting back. So, I've now completed 1 of 2 doors. I kinda wish I could send you a pic. Did 2 layers of 1" rigid DURAFOAM, which is foil/styrofoam/plastic wrap. Foil sides... 1st layer facing wood door and 2nd facing garage interior. Looks pretty decent. Wasn't an easy job, challenging to cut. Used very sharp box cutters. thanks again! 👍
It has made a huge difference - for the better. much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. the biggest gains are in the rooms next to the garage as they are heated and cooled by the HVAC and maintain temputure much more consistently
CK, the garage is much warmer, the other day I came in from working around the yard and it felt like a heated space. I still need to measure the difference but I've been waiting for winter to set in.

Thank you
Inspiring, thank you! I feel ready to take this on for my own garage door now.
Great work! Thanks for sharing! About to get started on our wooden garage doors and this was very helpful.
James, glad the video was helpful. I was in my garage yesterday , outside was about 38 degrees and I was comfortably working in my garage - so much better than before ! GL
Thank you for the great video!! I am going to be doing the same thing to my garage door, looks easy after seeing your video... Thank you again!! 😁👍
Thanks , best of luck - you will be glad you did it!
Class A job Sir! I have 2 9x7 tounge & groove wood doors. 10K to replace with insl steel. This is the ticket here.
you won't be disappointed ! GL
Awesome! You did an amazing job!
Thanks Hector
Nice work! I'm going to do the same! Thanks!
Thanks Mark , Good Luck!!
Thumbs up from me,good job.
Thank you
What double side tape did you use?
Sorry I did not capture that information at the time. I can say that I put the screws in because the tape will fail at some point. there is just to much heat and cold cycles that it goes through. hope that helps

Scott, I used Kreg 1-1/2 " screws here is a home depot link goo.by/MadlD
1 " would have been fine but I had these on hand.
GL with your project !
Hi does it matter which way you face the foil side?
depends on what you want to achieve. I wanted to retain more heat in the colder months and have astatically acceptable doors ( did not want to see all the words they put on this stuff). my first layer the foil faces out, final layer faces in. GL
@@good2live225 aaah gotcha..thanks for the quick response!

Do you have any photos of the 1” showing how it turned out?
@@22DINGOS no but the finished product is at the end of the vid. This is a project that will pay for its self pretty fast.
Hi, may I know what kind of outdoor white seal did you used, please?
got them from home depot here is a link thd.co/3tBsDLj
What about temps inside the garage after the heat / sun has had time to soak. say noonish.
It has made a huge difference - for the better. much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. the biggest gains are in the rooms next to the garage as they are heated and cooled by the HVAC and maintain temputure much more consistently
@@good2live225 Nice! By chance got a link to you product.
@@RichGann - I've added a link in the Description - thanks
Does it help during the winter?
